During his much-lauded tenure as sole creative director of Valentino,<\/a> Pierpaolo Picciolo\u2019s collections have largely leaned toward the evening. His couture gowns are nothing short of legendary, his ability to craft a feather-embellished or laser-cut mini dress unparalleled. But among all the chatter surrounding his eveningwear the quieter, more casual side of Piccioli\u2019s repertoire<\/a> can go under-appreciated. Last night in Paris, however, you couldn\u2019t miss it. Presenting Spring\/Summer 2022 at the Carreau du Temple, Piccioli\u2019s latest offering leaned heavily on the staples of daywear: floaty shirts, low-slung denim, comfortable sandals and little shift dresses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was, of course, daywear with a decidedly couture sensibility. The slouchy ivory suits were cut exquisitely and finished in a silk-cotton blend, jeans were rendered in the perfect shade of indigo and paired with chocolate brown cashmere capes, silky \u2018pyjama\u2019-style separates were finished with feather-trimmed sleeves. The dresses were short and flirty, but crafted with soft French lace or hand-embellished with sequins, and paired with gladiator sandals that laced up to the knee (could we be on the precipice of a late-Noughties throwback?). Color-blocked silk looks that paired rust-colored shorts with banana yellow shirts and purple blazers made a convincing case for wearing bermudas to work.<\/span><\/p>\n

The palette was vibrant across the board, but a single hue stood out: the color purple. The same shade of violet appeared on sheer Grecian gowns, laser-cut menswear sets, tent-style statement blouses, and tailored blazers, as well as on updates of key Valentino handbag shapes<\/a>. It was Valentino\u2019s first Paris Fashion Week show in 18 months, and it represented a clear pivot toward a younger, more casual generation. Members of the public\u2014most of them Gen-Z\u2014were invited to see the show backstage before the show began in a welcome sign of democratization. \u201cIt has been such such a tough moment. That’s why I decided to get Valentino into a new dimension: life,\u201d Picciolo said backstage. Who can argue with that?<\/span><\/p>\n
